I'm currently taking 2 tablets of Himalaya ashwagandha every day based on my ayurveda doctor's advice as part of my workout routine. I've been dealing with a persistent itching throat and throat infections due to the Delhi atmosphere. I do steam inhalations twice a day for about 10 minutes and also gargle with salt water, which the doctor suggested. It helps but the symptoms come back after a few days. I'm wondering if it's safe to add giloy ghanvati to help with the throat issues? Would it interfere with the ashwagandha or create any kind of complication?

Yes, you can take Giloy Ghanvati for your seasonal throat infection. It is known for its immunomodulatory properties and can help boost your immunity to fight off infections. You can take 1-2 tablets of Giloy Ghanvati twice a day after meals. It is advisable to consult with your doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate dosage based on your specific condition. Additionally, continue with your steam inhalation and salt water gargle as they are helpful in relieving symptoms.

View allI'm a bit concerned about using steroid cream for treating phimosis. What kind of side effects should I be aware of? Do you think it's a better option to just go for the operation instead?
-Steroid creams for phimosis can sometimes cause skin thinning or irritation if used long-term. If the condition doesn't improve, circumcision or preputioplasty is a more definitive solution. Consult a urologist to choose the best option for you.
